Adidas D Rose 4.5

While Derrick Rose’s career has taken multiple turns for the worst early on (back-to-back season ending injuries), Adidas will continue to introduce new performance basketball shoes for the Chicago Bulls star.

The Adidas D Rose 4.5 is the latest offering to hit the scene, and it’s a shame we won’t be able to see these on Rose’s feet this season. The shoe is packed full of technology, which includes an upper infused with both SPRINTWEB and SPRINTSKIN to ensure maximum support. GEOFIT technology, SPRINTFRAME, and increased padding located along the ankle add more stability to the upper, while a durable, lightweight Crazyquick outsole finishes off the construction. The high top sneakers have been stamped with the D Rose logo on the tongue, Rose’s name across the toe, while Adidas 3-stripe branding completes the look out back. Expect these kicks to hit the retail scene on January 30th, 2014 in three different colorways. [Purchase]
